Wake Forest and head coach Jake Dickert agreed to a long-term extension, the school announced Thursday.
The new contract includes increased resources and staff investment, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
"Wake Forest University is committed to football success at the highest level, and Coach Dickert has done an extraordinary job of inspiring belief among our players, fans, and the entire Demon Deacon community," Wake Forest vice president and director of athletics John Currie said in a statement.
Dickert has been with the Demon Deacons since December 2024, following Dave Clawson's resignation. He's led Wake Forest to a 17-5 record in two seasons, including an 8-1 start to the 2026 campaign.
The 43-year-old was rumored to be a candidate for other Power 4 coaching openings after this season.
Wake Forest's offense has been one of the best in the country in 2026, ranking second in total EPA and fourth in points per game, according to TruMedia.
The Demon Deacons secured the No. 13 spot in this week's College Football Playoff rankings and will face SMU in an ACC showdown Saturday.
